Just a heads-up, Kathryn Dixon is me.

--

Rachel Byrd What Iran fails to understand is that God will never allow Israel to be destroyed. Those are empty threats and Israel will win.


Kathryn Dixon
You know Islam has the same God as Christianity and Judaism, right?


Rachel Byrd
No they don't, Kathryn. Allah is not the same God that you and I worship. Read the book by Franklin Graham "The Name". We all got our start under Abraham, but Muhammed (the prophet) went on in a whole different direction. Read the Koran (not really) we don't have the same God.


Braydon Byrd
No they don't. Here's a quote straight from the Koran:

"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "... See MoreTrinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son."

I don't know about you, but I worship Jesus. They don't. Islam does not have the same God as Christianity. If they did they wouldn't want to completely wipe Christians and Jews off the face of the earth.


Kathryn Dixon
Allah is their word for God, just like Yahweh is for the Jews, in Hebrew.
literally means "submission to God"

Islam developed from Christianity, just like Christianity developed form Judaism.
Just like the Bible was revealed through revelations to various prophets, the Koran was revealed through the Prophet Muhammad by the God-sent Angel Gabriel.... See More

they believe in the prophets Abraham, Moses, AND Jesus.

and Braydon, that quote supports my truth XD

Its people like both of you that are causing this tension with Islam. The blatantly ignorant majority of Christians don't even know.
And no, im not Christian, thanks. I'm Deist.


Kathryn Dixon
Why dont you actually try reading something else besides Christian propaganda and far-fetched lies about Islam, and actually use your brain for once.


Braydon Byrd
You're missing the point. It doesn't matter whether or not a religion revolves around some sort of deity. That's not enough, because all religions do. Christianity is different than Islam because in Christianity we worship Jesus as God. Islam says that Jesus was a prophet, but not God or God's son. They believe in Jesus, but only as a prophet, not ... See Moreas God. So no, that quote doesn't support your point, it supports mine. It's saying not to worship Jesus, and that the Trinity doesn't exist. We do worship Jesus. And what do you mean by "deist?" Agnostic? Naturalist?


Kathryn Dixon
And before you start going off on a tangent about what you THINK Deism actually is, http://www.religioustolerance.org/deism.htm

Oh, and im a furry, too. It wouldnt surprise me if you thought that furries are those people who screw animals. Because thats dead wrong as well. c:

Kathryn Dixon
The thing youre missing is that Jesus WAS a prophet. And first of all, he didnt set out to be worshiped. He didnt want to be worshiped. But Christians did anyway.

the reason they reject it is because worshiping God AND Jesus is polytheism, and they believe in worshiping only one God, monotheism.


Rachel Byrd
Kathryn, excuse me?? I'm causing tension??? I'm not out blowing up innocent people in acts of terrorism to please my god!!!! They are. Christianity is not propaganda, but I'm always amazed how people that don't believe in it are so easily offended. Which only proves the bible is the inerrant Word of God, b/c He said that's how it will be.



Kathryn Dixon
Really? Then what happened in Nigeris in 2004? Nothing?

and i didnt say Christianity was propaganda. I said its filled with it. Like this : http://www.godhatesfags.com/

and if the Bible is the "inerrant Word of God", why are there so many versions? And how come a king had to create a standard version? Oh yeah, bec ause it was corrupted by priests to form it to their will of what they wanted people to believe.... See More

And do you even know why Christmas is celebrated with a tree? And Easter with colored eggs? Because they were originally pagan holidays. Christianity, in order to get more followers, started having their celebrations on the same day. So that thousands of years later, they would still be celebrating it, but for a different reason. and it worked. Jesus wasnt born in the winter


Kathryn Dixon
*Nigeria


Braydon Byrd
No, you are dead wrong. The Trinity is not polytheism. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all one. John 1:1: "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." I just studied it. And what do you mean he didn't want to be worshiped? Actually read the Bible if your going to attack it. And he did claim to be God. He ... See Moresaid that he was the way, the truth, and the life. He said that he was the only way to get to the Father. Also Jesus wasn't a prophet. He was God. Have you never gone to a Christian church? Jesus is God, he claimed to be, and I know that he is the only way that I can be saved.


Rachel Byrd
Yes, Kathryn, I know all those things. And yes, I know there are a lot of hateful people that call themselves Christians. So?? You gonna burn in hell for eternity b/c there are stupid people in the world that do stupid things?? Come on. Get real. Back to the original argument. Muslims and Christianity do not worship the same god and if you think they do, why don't you become a muslim and do all the horrible things that are required of you to get to heaven. Christ asks for one thing only, you admit He is God and accept Him as your Savior, the rest is just icing.


Kathryn Dixon
No, God incarnate, or Son of God, not God.
and actually, Islam believes he is a prophet and the Messiah.

And Jesus was very much a prophet XD
The definition of a prophet is someone who has been reached or touched by divinity. And Jesus, being the so-called son of God, fits that description to the T.

Kathryn Dixon
http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/31/


Kathryn Dixon
worshiping more than one God is the EXACT definition of Polytheism, too XD


Rachel Byrd
God, Jesus and the Holy spirit are 3 PERSONALITIES of God manifested. Just like you are a daughter, a sister and a girlfriend, but still one person. It is not polytheism. We worship ONE GOD!


Braydon Byrd
No, you are completely wrong. Muslims do not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. And your getting off track. First of all Jesus was not a prophet. Here's the definition of a prophet from the dictionary. "One regarded by a group of followers as the final authoritative revealer of God's will." Jesus is... See More God's will. God's will is for us to be saved, and Jesus is the way we are saved. He is God's will, not someone who predicts God's will. Secondly, the argument's not about whether or not Jesus is a prophet, it's about whether or not he is God. The Bible says that Jesus is God. The Koran says he is not God, (or the Messiah. Read the quote I posted in my first comment.) The Bible says he is. I know you've been brainwashed, but surely you have enough sense to realize, at least, that Christianity claims Jesus is God. Islam doesn't. I've said this multiple times.



Kathryn Dixon
"Yes, Kathryn, I know all those things. And yes, I know there are a lot of hateful people that call themselves Christians. So??"
JUST like there are hateful people who call themselves Muslims.

"You gonna burn in hell for eternity b/c there are stupid people in the world that do stupid things?? Come on. Get real."
Hell is such a silly concept.... See More

"Back to the original argument. Muslims and Christianity do not worship the same god..."
Once, again, they do. Yahweh, Allah, and God are the exact same thing. All three are connected to each other through God revealing himself to prophes who then wrote in down in a sacred text. thats like saying Jews dont worship the same God.

" and if you think they do, why don't you become a muslim and do all the horrible things that are required of you to get to heaven.'
You mean like i can be accepted into heaven automatically because im a child?
And that you arent born with sin, but are born pure? Unlike Christianity, where you are born with sin, mainly because some woman made out of a mound of dirt and a rib bone was tricked by a magical snake into eating a fruit. totally makes sense.
Oh, and the Koran states nothing about 72 virgins. At all. It was used as a metaphor for glorious things.. Just like Christians think about "pearly" or "golden" gates.

"Christ asks for one thing only, you admit He is God and accept Him as your Savior, the rest is just icing. "
No thanks.


Rachel Byrd
Kathryn, all I can do is pray for you. I'm so very sorry that you have decided to turn away for Jesus. We can now end this conversation. You are blind and that is satan's ultimate goal. Only God can change your heart, and you will change my mind b/c I'm indwelt with the Spirit of God. "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world". Love you!!!



Kathryn Dixon
Then why do you "worship" Jesus? XD

"No, you are completely wrong. Muslims do not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. "
Actually, YOU have no idea what youre talking about. Tch. Christians and their hardheadedness.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_in_Islam... See More
http://www.islam-101.org/
http://www.ummah.net/khoei/mahdi.htm
and many more. Youre obviously wrong. The EDUCATED people are correct. the odds are against you.

"And your getting off track. First of all Jesus was not a prophet. Here's the definition of a prophet from the dictionary. "One regarded by a group of followers as the final authoritative revealer of God's will." Jesus is God's will."
Exactly. A revealer of God's will. Thats why he went around healing people and preaching about the word of God.

"God's will is for us to be saved, and Jesus is the way we are saved. He is God's will, not someone who predicts God's will.'
Predicts is NOT a synonym for a reveal.

"Secondly, the argument's not about whether or not Jesus is a prophet, it's about whether or not he is God. The Bible says that Jesus is God. The Koran says he is not God, (or the Messiah. Read the quote I posted in my first comment.) "
-
"ALLAH is HE besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. HE has sent down to thee the Book containing the truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and HE has sent down the Torah (Law of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guidance to the people; and HE has sent down the Discrimination (judgement between right and wrong)."—Qur'an, Surah 3:3-4
-
"Thereupon she pointed to him. They said, 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' Jesus said, 'I am a servant of ALLAH. HE has given me the Book, and has made me a Prophet; 'And HE has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me Prayer and almsgiving so long as I live; 'And HE has made me dutiful towards my mother, and has not made me arrogant and graceless; 'And peace was on me the day I was born, and peace will be on me the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised up to life again.' That was Jesus, son of Mary. This is a statement of the truth concerning which they entertain doubt."—Qur'an, Surah 19:30-35

Obviously youre so wrong. c:

"The Bible says he is. I know you've been brainwashed, but surely you have enough sense to realize, at least, that Christianity claims Jesus is God. Islam doesn't. I've said this multiple times."
HAHAHAHA brainwashed? By WHAT? My own brain? and smarts? And how im NOT ignorant? This is rich.

Security question answer is Dixon

Im selling my hardcover encyclopedia of the cat for 30$. Retail value is $35, and the only damage is the paper covering over the hard one's edges are worn.
Ill post pics in a bit. Note me if you want it

some commission place :P

pretty nifty

http://17cats.com/show_profile.php?U=224

i still kinda dont like my new "style"

I should really use my sketchbook for sketching XD
might help..

So if you happen to have a cat, and you're driving in a car, and it just so happens that you throw said cat out a window, then does that cat then become kitty litter?

somebody decided to get into an argument with me over rear-wheel and front-wheel drive cars.

all i said is that id rather have front-wheel, because I'm not used to rear-wheel.

and they get all worked up that theyre the exact same and that im "insane"

I didnt say they werent the same. all i said is that id rather have front-wheel.
As is pretty freaking obvious, its not wise at all to let a new teen driver loose on a brand new car with something theyre not used to. Thats like, insta-accident.

and they proceeded to log off or block me, whatever. Solves ALL problems, doesnt it? :P

more lines of artness? o3o
on the front page?

I wanna make one. an animal one. Cause its annoying to try and find a "random" animals while youre sifting thoguh tons of really cool ones XD

Anything with a number as a name has yet to be edited :P

before i start anything, if there is someone else who is also offering commissions, and is having a serious problem (will be out of a house, no food, dying pets, etc.) commission THEM FIRST! cause none of these apply

These are like, insanely low prices XD soo..

(another thing = i HAVE improved a lot. And im still improving. For this reason, prices are subject to randomness, and results of your commission may be better than the examples, actually.)

Prices are ALSO subject to haggling! :P
Im not very good at pricing, so feel free to ask. To me, someone with a simple character should have a different price than someone with tons of markings. Just sayin.

SAI colored - $6
Example - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4076262
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4076769
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4076046 (warning: blood)
(Note: these are small pictures( for the 100 Themes), but I do large ones also :P)

pencil drawings/sketches - 4$
Example - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3660207/

Lined - 5$ (depends on how complicated (lots of markings, etc.))
Examples - none

lined colored - 6$
Examples -http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3575996/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3389219/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3317529/

cutout colored - 4 - 6$ (depends on how complex. with detailed/many marking'ed characters, this can take MANY layers)
Examples - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3653671/

Headshots - 3$ for pencil, 3.50+$ for digital colored(lines or cutout)
Eamples - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3888433/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3882935

Note me if you want any.

And even if you dont, PLEASE pass this on

any suggestions? :P

and im wondering what exactly to put in it

i was planning on doing a large survey, but it turns out we cant do notecards, so i cant put a lot of that in it. I might use a few questions and opinions, and post a mass survery or something

input on that please, and then:
give me ideas for what to put in the project!

This will be informing people about the fandom is and what it encompasses, so please tell me anything you'd like me to look up. any stereotypes you'd like me to address, anything broadly covering the fandom, specifics, etc., whatever. Tell me!

Id like to see peoples input on this.

and dont ask to be in the survey please, if i do one.
Im making it more random.

not like major. The only things im gonna change in my ref are the double-colored tail colors :P

But like, im gonna make it to where i can be drawn as any animal, but keeping my main as the domestic cat. Also, any cat, but mainly.. most likely an Egyptian Mau. Theyre the most like me. And not just normal animals. dont care about being pokemon, digimon, final fantasy monsters, etc. Whatever.
I dont think id care about changing gender, either. though main is, of course, female :P

lol tf fetish muchly? XD bark bark woof moo

Lance can do the can can?

Legitimate question. Inspired by Lance's battle music in HG/SS XDD
sounds like can can music-esque in some spots

if anybody noticed xD

First of all, its because of drivers ed. though thankfully the three hours of class everyday is ending this friday XD and then i only have driving and obstacle course hours.

and a warning to the future; I have about 5 projects coming up x3x so thatll take a chunk outta time

but first and FOREmost, im trying to develop a style that suits me better. Im still playing around with it, as all ive been able to draw for the past two weeks, really, were notebook doodles ^^"

so uh..yeah

i have two art requests that people have been waiting on FOREVER >>

I need to be smacked.
Yes, Blitz, this also includes you

I got quite a few watches and faves because of that sea slug XD

i guess since i DO love odd animals, and now that it apparently gets me a little recognition, maybe i should start drawing weird animals :P

somebody discovered then on fa..

and now theyre EVERYWHERE :I
